Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: Zinc finger, C2H2 type; Zinc finger C2H2 superfamily; Zinc finger C2H2-type; and Transcriptional repressor SCRATCH 1/2. Is an ortholog of C. elegans
ces-1 and
scrt-1. In C. elegans,
ces-1 is involved in negative regulation of programmed cell death and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II.
